By Our Staff Reporter

HYDERABAD MAY 1. G. Vijay Kumar, a student of Nalanda Vidya Bhavan, Vengalraonagar, Hyderabad, emerged on the top in the SSC examination this year scoring 585 marks. The son of a senior manager in NTPC Ramagundam, Vijay Kumar, however, is yet to decide as to what he wants to study further.

Speaking to The Hindu, he attributed his success to hard work, guidance from his teachers and encouragement of his parents. "I expected to be in the top 10 but not the topmost'', said Vijay Kumar, who hails from Mahabubabad in Warangal district. Seven students from the Nalanda Educational Institutions figured in the top 10 scores. The institution's students shared 3rd, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th and 10th highest scores of the State.

K. Alekhya, who secured the 5th highest score said she wants to join the Indian Institute of Technology and dedicated the rank to her mother whose dream was to see her daughter secure a State rank. The 6th highest scorer, Sree Harsha Varma, wants to become an automobile engineer.

Interestingly, Vineela Rekha (8th), Lakshmi Kumuda (9th), Rakesh and P. Chandana (10th) want to study medicine.
